The Vintage French Knife

A long, elegant French chef's knife in high carbon steel - the kind of blade that was standard in professional kitchens across France for decades. At 245mm and just 100g, it is exceptionally light and fast in the hand - a blade that rewards a confident cook. High carbon steel at 58 HRC takes a finer, keener edge than most stainless steels and develops a natural patina with use that is both protective and characterful. One-of-a-kind. Sold individually.

Care and Maintenance

• Hand wash only - never dishwasher
• Dry immediately after use - carbon steel will rust if left wet
• Apply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods
• Expect a natural patina to develop with use - this is normal and protective
• Hone regularly with a honing steel or ceramic rod
• Sharpen with a whetstone - carbon steel responds beautifully to fine stones
• Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
